EFN-INTERNATIONAL is glad to
announce that the newborn Canadian organization, EFN-CANADA, is now
up and running, and its membership is developing rapidly. The
complete corporate name of this new Canadian organization is:
Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy (Canada) Inc. / Ecologistes
Pour l'Energie Nucléaire (Canada) Inc. The short
denomination in English is EFN-CANADA and EPEN-CANADA in
French/Quebec. The activities of EFN-CANADA will be federal,
spreading across all Canadian provinces. The headquarters of
EFN-CANADA are located in Cobourg (110 km East of Toronto). The
President of EFN-INTERNATIONAL will be in Ontario in June for a
lecture tour to inform the Canadian public about the environmental
benefits of nuclear energy.

Invite all your Canadian friends
and contacts to become a member of EFN-CANADA!

Another pro-nuclear
environmental organization in North America makes the case for
nuclear energy

A member of EFN, our good friend Patrick Moore,
one of the founders of Greenpeace in 1971, and now the Honorary Chair
of EFN CANADA, is launching a new pro-nuclear organization called
CASE (Clean And Safe Energy coalition). The official launch will be
tomorrow (Monday 24th April 2006) in Washington D.C./U.S.A. This new
organization joins EFN-USA, EFN-CANADA and a growing number of other
environmental organizations in North America pushing for more clean
nuclear energy to soften the consequences of the global energy crisis
we are running into.

Patrick was one of the founders of Greenpeace in
1971, director of Greenpeace International for 7 years, as well as
the founder of Greenpeace Canada and its President for 9 years. You
will see more details about Patrick's position in support of nuclear
energy in his introduction to the new Canadian edition of my book
"Environmentalists
For Nuclear Energy" (the new edition is in
preparation).

A few passages quoted from Patrick Moore's
introduction:

"This book warns us of the dangers of burning
fossil fuels and presents the many benefits of the most
environmentally-friendly solution to solve the problem, nuclear
energy. It is the only source of clean power that is able to meet a
significant part of the world's energy demand in the coming decades,
and can therefore efficiently solve the energy problem the world is
facing."

"Greenpeace today says we can phase out
fossil fuels and nuclear energy and not build any more hydro dams; we
would need only increased energy conservation, more windmills, and
the development of solar panels. That's a pleasant dream, and I
sincerely wish it would be true, but it simply is not possible. Wind
and solar energy are too dilute, and the electricity they produce is
available only when the wind blows (erratically) or when the sun
shines (at most half the time)."

"If nuclear energy was to be excluded,
the world would have to rely almost entirely on fossil
fuels."

"Among power plants, the dirty and old
coal-fired plants produce the most pollution."

"As Stewart Brand, James Lovelock,
Bruno Comby and other forward-thinking environmentalists have made
clear, technology has now progressed to the point where the
fear-mongering being spread by anti-nuclear activists about the
safety of nuclear energy bears no semblance to reality."

"What we need to do is at
least triple the number of nuclear reactors in the coming decades, to
really reduce significantly the consumption of fossil fuels and
minimize the consequences of climate change."

"Greenpeace and other
multi-million dollar anti-nuclear organizations have been successful
in misinforming the population on energy matters by spreading myths
and unfounded or vastly exaggerated scare-stories about nuclear
energy."

"It is the stubborn
opposition of anti-nuclear groups to the benefits of nuclear energy
that is actually the major obstacle to the realistic achievement of
carbon dioxide reductions around the world, because they oppose the
best and most reasonable alternative to fossil fuels."

"The public should now be
told the truth, the positive side of the story about the benefits of
nuclear energy for the environment as well as a more sustainable,
safer and more secure energy future."

"It is therefore with
pleasure that I have accepted to help create and to serve on the
board of EFN-CANADA , to inform the public correctly about these
matters, and I invite all like-minded environmentalists to climb on
board."
